I have the Corsair Powersupply 750W (ATX 12V V2.2, 80 Plus, Standard. 4x 6+2-pin PCIe, 8x SATA,)
It is roughly three years old at this point. Should I be thinking of exchanging it in the near future or can I expect it to survive another two years?

I'd suggest waiting a bit as they have just released the 660ti and like the last gen cards. the 560ti was the last to arrive followed by 3-4 months until 6XX series arrived. So If I were you I'd suggest waiting a bit to see what the 7XX series brings. Generally their cards will arrive within mid Q1 to early Q2 of 2013.

You can easily keep using it for another couple of years. Just think of it as a 650W PSU and you'll be fine.

I wouldn't expect to find more than one or two GTX 700 series graphics cards around before summer. The GTX 680 was released in March, but then it took a while before the GTX 670 arrived. And the GTX 660, GTX 650, and to a lesser extent the GTX 660 Ti are still fairly recent news.

AMD will probably release their Radeon HD 8000 series earlier - should begin arriving sometime this winter, with the range fleshed out by spring.

Still, playing the waiting game in a market that changes this quickly seems futile. There's always going to be something newer and better just around the corner.

I actually agree with you here, but the OP specifically mentioned that he wanted the upgrade for Rome II and Planetside II. So he might not be interested in waiting 6 months for next-gen graphics.
